Brexit Sonnet No. 127 - 'I’m No Sucker’
 

You know what, I don’t really care what this Dyson crowd say,
They deny it’s not Brexit, but they’re off and away on their heels.
For they’re leaving these isles; they’re off and walking away!
They say -  it’s ‘not for the tax’, or the fear of no deals.
Well I’m not buying this, nor their dryers or hoovers to boot.
I’m no sucker, no doormat, nor lover of bladed hot air.
I’m a lover of Britain; I’ll be staying what ere be the route.
Please abandon us not - treat Malmesbury and Bristol with care.
Your car of the future, you’ll shape and design not from here,
Not buildéd in Britain, but your billions you’ll spend in the East,
‘Future proof’ profit washed down with cold Tiger beer. 
So nurture your ‘poster child’; you’ve behaved like a regular beast.
‘Just walk away’ was the Brexit advice you did say,
We’ll walk from your products. Your price we’re not willing to pay.
